November 1, 20169 yr Commercial Member The link in this post above: http://www.avsim.com/topic/496097-x-plane-11-coming-november/page-30#entry3502501 shows Triton. It's what the couple of posts I made about P3D and Triton are about. I commented because Ryan said it looked like P3D's water... which is Triton. I didn't state what XP 11 is or isn't using.

November 1, 20169 yr It's not using Triton, its Laminars own creation Yeah, from Ben's conversation with Frank on the development blog it seems like the new 3d water is a completely custom tech that Ben is working on. So far it looks promising.
November 1, 20169 yr Commercial Member There are quite some opensource opengl oceans to get an idea on how to do it. Anyway those algorithms are complicated stuff.
November 2, 20169 yr Seems like Triton is made by the same people who make SkyMaxxPro. Interesting... 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit
November 3, 20169 yr Hey all, I just checked the X-Plane website for updates and noticed something on the wording of the G1000 mention. It says:Brand new G1000Many general aviation planes now feature a simulated Garmin 1000.So far, the only GA plane announced is the 172 and that does not sport the new G1000. There are 8 mystery aircraft left with a ? on their website, but who knows how accurate that number is. They redid the Baron and King Air in 10.50 so I'm sure they'll be included but not feature the G1000. Columbia 400 seems like a given considering it's been featured in their preview shots.What do you think they will include?
November 3, 20169 yr What do you think they will include? You can see the Piaggio Avanti and Cirrus SF50 in the UI preview and I imagine those will probably have the G1000. Their are also multiple versions of the Stinson L-5 and a C172 Floatplane, but I doubt they'll have the G1000 (especially the Stinson ).

Their are also multiple versions of the Stinson L-5 and a C172 Floatplane, but I doubt they'll have the G1000 (especially the Stinson ). Good point! The question is how many of them they are planning to present as new/re-done aircraft and if the blank amount of aircraft on the site is even accurate or intended. Overall they advertised XP10 as having about 30 stock aircraft, obviously including "oddities" like the X-15 and Space Shuttle. So far we have: 1. Cessna 172 2. MD-80 3. Sikorsky S-72 4. Boeing 738 ^ confirmed 5. Stinson L-5 6. Avanti (G1000?) 7. Cirrus SF50 (G1000?) 8. Columbia 400 (G1000?) 9. Baron 58 10. King Air C90B While on the topic, I wouldn't mind if there was a good model of Austin's own Lancair Evolution. His old Columbia-400 was in, so why not
November 3, 20169 yr In the official screenshots they also showed a Cessna Citation X, what happened to that? :( Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
November 3, 20169 yr In the official screenshots they also showed a Cessna Citation X, what happened to that? That's only popped up on Aerosoft's shop, hasn't it? Not sure what to make of it.
November 4, 20169 yr XP-11 dynamic vehicles are really coming alive Alan Twiggys AOPA Member "All Things Aviation"
November 4, 20169 yr Thx twiggys! Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
November 4, 20169 yr XP-11 dynamic vehicles are really coming alive Bit odd though that apart from the tow truck none of the vehicles actually do something... I mean, the various cars drive towards the plane, stop, just stay there doing absolutely nothing and then disappear again...?
November 4, 20169 yr yidahoo, on 31 Oct 2016 - 10:43 PM, said: It's not using Triton, its Laminars own creation I hope not, why would Austin re-invent the wheel? Are you absolutely sure about that? Given the size of LR's development team (2), I don't see how they would have the time and resources to re-engineer something like what Sundog already offer? Ed, Triton (aka Sundog) is used by many AA titles, it's a VERY good engine with 32bit and 64bit support for DX and OGL. It can be made/used (very flexible API/engine) less repetitive but at the cost of performance and memory usage. The demo videos are great, but attempting to replicate that at a global scale (LOD) would induce significant FPS hit. I'm hoping LR's development major version cycles will shrink ... the industry typically aims at 12-18 months for major version releases. So I'm hoping XP12 will have weather and 4 seasons, but XP11 is a step in the right direction ... for Training purposes it's VERY important to have a good weather depiction at acceptable FPS. Cheers, Rob.
